Bumper-stay mounting structure and load transmission member

摘要

A bumper-stay mounting structure includes a rear side member, a bumper stay and a load transmission member, in the bumper-stay mounting structure, a load being transmitted intensively to a lower side of a rear end portion of the rear side member, the bumper-stay mounting structure, the load transmission member having, on an inner peripheral side of a fastened portion, a protruding portion in a box shape, which protrudes toward the rear portion of the bumper stay in the vehicle longitudinal direction so as to be inserted into an opening of the bumper stay; and a side wall of the protruding portion having a substantially U-shaped cross section that is perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal direction, is opened on a vehicle upper side, and is provided with, at a front end edge of the side wall, a flange extending outward from a side wall as the fastened portion.

主权项

1. A bumper-stay mounting structure, comprising:
a rear side member that is disposed along a longitudinal direction of a vehicle and that absorbs an impact at a time of rear end collision of the vehicle by being deformed in an axial direction due to application of a load to a rear end portion thereof; a bumper stay that is formed in a bottomed box shape, that has a bottom portion which is located in a rear portion of the bumper stay in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and to which a bumper reinforcement is attached, and that is provided with, at an outer edge portion of an opening formed in a front portion of the bumper stay in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle opposite to the bottom portion, a pair of side flanges extending outward to a left and a right respectively from a pair of left and right side walls located on both sides in a vehicle width direction and a lower flange extending downward from a lower side wall in a lower portion of the bumper stay in a height direction of the vehicle; and a load transmission member that is disposed between the rear end portion of the rear side member and the bumper stay, that has a flat fastened portion fastened between the pair of side flanges and the lower flange of the bumper stay and the rear end portion of the rear side member, and that transmits, to the rear side member via the fastened portion, a load input into the bumper stay from the bumper reinforcement at the time of the rear end collision of the vehicle, in the bumper-stay mounting structure, a load being transmitted intensively to a lower side of the rear end portion of the rear side member, the bumper-stay mounting structure, wherein the load transmission member has, on an inner peripheral side of the fastened portion, a protruding portion in a box shape, which protrudes toward the rear portion of the bumper stay in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle so as to be inserted into the opening of the bumper stay; and a side wall of the protruding portion has a substantially U-shaped cross section that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, is opened on a vehicle upper side, and is provided with, at a front end edge of the side wall, a flange extending outward from the side wall as the fastened portion.
